Allison's point of viewEvery drop of rain outside is loud. I could see the cars and the people getting soaked by the rain. Seven told me that I would make some money today at the coffee shop.I picked up my cup of black-brewed coffee and took a sip. Its warmth quickly gave me a comfortable feeling. I leaned back in the chair and closed my eyes tightly.I closed my eyes because I was really sleepy.I opened my eyes and adjusted my seat. I pinched the tip of my thumb to wake me up.I don't know who Seven is talking about, but she sent a picture. According to my friend, I need to talk about us now because we have a new transaction. This is really who you are talking to, but Clifford did somethingI looked at the watch I was wearing and saw that it was two o'clock in the morning. I tried to call Khlea, but she is not answering my call. Perhaps it has been sleeping until now.I just stood up to choose food to buy for her later. I chose strawberry chocolate cake.I'm just now thinking abou
Clifford's Point of View "DO YOU know what happened to Nishane?"Seven asked me a question, which astounded me. Even I am unable to respond to such query. Even now, I don't know how my wife is doing. All I know is that she is still suffering the loss of our kid, therefore I can't really communicate with her right now. I would have gone with her if I could. But for now, the company needs me, so that's not an option. Despite the fact that my heart also mourns the loss of my angel, I cannot hold her responsible for her sorrow.I whispered, "I don't frickin know.""Shouldn't you be standing by her side?"My headache was getting worse. "I desire most to spend time with her, but she's pushing me away," I said.That's exact as well. She screams at me if I get close to her. She pulls me away each time we speak. I used to be her ally. But as time went on, she started to view me negatively. I am unable to communicate with her, approach her, touch her, or even give her a hug. She drags me
Khlea’s point of viewI didn't follow Allison when she left in front of me. That's right, because Candy's mommy called me. I will go with her to get the results from Candy's laboratory. Since she knows nothing when it comes to such things. Candy used to fix Cindy like this."Are you okay, Khlea?" she asked me.I nodded slightly. "I'm okay." I asked her to go where the results are being taken. While walking, I didn't know what to say later to Allison.I didn't know that anyone would see me. What I also know is that she is sleeping in her unit, so I was not able to ask permission earlier. I didn't want to keep it a secret from her because I thought she was resting since she drove all night. I breathed deeply.I arranged everything before saying goodbye to Candy's mother. "I'll go home first, auntie. I'll just come back tonight."She held my hand. “Thank you so much for coming here, Khlea. We owe everything to you. Come back because I'm sure Candy will be looking for you when she wakes u
Khlea's point of view"You've been drinking for a while. Maybe you're all drunk," Brenda said when she approached me.I didn't pay attention to her, and then I went straight to the glass and drank all of the contents. I heard Brenda laugh softly, so I gave her a bad look."Leave me alone; is that okay? I want to be alone," I said, then poured another glass of wine."You know, if I had only known that you were planning to get drunk on alcohol today, I wish I would have let you drink after drink at my bar. I wish my bar would have made more money.""I'm sorry because I don't want to go to your bar at this time either."Brenda just looked at me. I know that she wants to wean me. She can do that, but she prefers to let me. I heard her sigh. "So maybe you can tell me what the problem is with you two? I don't understand anything.""We were fine last night. We had a fun road trip. We had a date at a coffee shop with dancing flowers.""Then, what happened?"I told Brenda everything that happe
Khlea's Point of ViewMy whole body ached when I woke up. I don't know where I am. The place where I am now is dark. My arms and legs hurt. When I moved it, it was tied tightly.I got nervous. I tried to move to break the tie but nothing happened. My hands only hurt more."Is there someone there? Let me go!" I scream so that someone can hear me. "Help me!"I didn't hear anyone so that got me thinking. I tried to remember what happened to me before I came here.It came to my mind that I drank in Brenda's office and she drove me to my condo. There, two men entered and here I am."Shit! Mr. Tuazon's men planned this?" I struggled even more. Those men want revenge for hurting me.If I hadn't been drinking, I could have defended myself without a gun. My headache suddenly crept up, so I stopped for a while. I'm out of breath too.I want to scream and scream now but I know it's impossible for anyone to hear me. I tried to move more to loosen the binding but I was just in pain.Aces suddenly
Khlea's Point of ViewAllison's fight with the man was quick. When she knocked it down, she quickly got out of me to untie me."Who are you with? Where is The8?" I asked her."I was with her, but we split up earlier so that we could find you faster. Are you hurt?" She just finished removing the ties from my hands and feet. When she looked at me, I could clearly see how she frowned. She touched my bruised cheek and I barely got away from her. "Who did that to you?""I don't know but that's not the guy." She pointed to the unconscious man lying on the floor."Teach me. I will make her feel more than that." Allison's voice was cold. No trace of joking.I didn't say anything more and we walked out of the hallway. We stopped for a moment when we felt someone running near where we were."Allison? Khlea?" It turned out to be The8. It dodged the gun pointed at us. "It's good that you're okay. Let's get out of here."Allison and I nodded and started walking but we ran into some men. Allison qu
Allison's Point of ViewI wasn't feeling well the night I returned to Khlea's unit. She is already inside her unit because she does not want to stay at the clinic. That's even better because it's comfortable to act.My head hurts so bad. I told Seven that I won't go with the transactions anymore because I'll be looking after Khlea first. My girlfriend needs me and I know that I still need to recover. I know that he likes me a lot and I want us to be good."You're awake," I said when I saw her standing in front of the window. "I brought our coffee so we can have something to drink." I walked closer to her. "Are you okay?" I asked."Did you see my phone in the condo? The last time I remembered I left it on top of my bed," she asked then turned to me."Yes." I approached the sofa where I placed my bag that I brought earlier. "Here's your phone." I gave it to her."Oh, it's good that you put it away.""I saw it right away on your bed and took it. It's good that Mr. Tuazon's staff didn't t
Nishane's Point of View THREE MONTHS LATER, I won't pretend to be alright or that my pain from losing my daughter has subsided. But I can say that I'm making progress in my life in some way. Despite my difficulties, I managed to survive. I merely do stuff to keep me occupied, prevent me from reflecting, and prevent me from feeling down. I tried my best to focus on other things.I felt bad for myself as I reflected on my prior actions. Clifford, fortunately, was able to help me. I wouldn't have recovered if I hadn't accepted his offer to have me treated by specialists. I assumed that since I miss my daughter, seeing her would be normal for me. I assumed that it was typical for me to miss her so much that all I wanted to do was stay in her room. I was unaware that it was a symptom of extreme melancholy, anxiety, and depression.Until now, I still struggle to accept the death of my first child. And due of the trauma of what happened, I'm not sure if I'll be able to have children. I'
